I guess my goal here is to inform people that they should consider investing in individual stocks that pay dividends

Well, there's nothing wrong with investing in dividend stocks, but the form of investment one considers should reflect your financial goals... and it should be done as part of a diversified portfolio. For that matter, bonds, growth stocks, and mutual funds have their places as well.
For example, dividend stocks generally lack kind of rockstar climbing power that growth stocks possess. That's why... they pay dividends.
But because of that, I contend that you may NOT make your money grow as much as it can be growth stocks. It just really depends, but I wouldn't go so far as to claim one form is better than the other....
Sorry if I sound critical. But yes, I whole-heartedly agree that you don't need a lot of money before you start investing. If anything, the less we have invested, the harder we should work to invest. Then, later on, we can let our money work hard for us.
